You do not need to be a member of the Navy League, or have a reservation, to attend the in-person meeting, the general public is welcome. All are invited to this event. Only those who order a meal are required to pay for the meal. Others may attend at no-charge.
The after dinner speaker is Mr. Matthew Dolmyer, Veterans Service Officer, Veterans Assistance Commission of Kendall County. His topic will be “How the Veterans Assistance Commission of Kendall County Carries Out Its Mission”. This will include helping veterans (and their families) with obtaining disability, education, death, burial, and other benefits. Mr. Dolmyer is an eight year US Marine Corps Veteran, and a 16 year police officer where he trained officers in firearms, tactics, immediate trauma care, high risk stops, rapid deployment, rapid deployment, MACTAC, among many other areas. He is a graduate of both College of DuPage and Northern Illinois University (with a Bachelor’s Degree).
The Aurora Council needs to expand its membership. This is our only source of funds to help the Junior Navy and AF ROTC units in area High Schools. It will pay half of the first year’s dues for new members. This is an excellent opportunity to attend an interesting event, and determine whether you would like to join permanently.
